Ott with draft for $50.00. I got my library deposit of $3.00

It passed rain but we went to S S and church. Had dinner

We went down early. I called to see Mrs Bracey and
later found The McBrides just ready to go away. Then
to see Mrs Reimers. Mrs Church gave me some beads.

Was home in AM. We were ready to go to the station to
meeting Millie Byington when some friends brought her in a
car. We drove down town. Spent evening visiting.

to Hattie and Ruby Falk. We did not stay late in town.
Mr Falk had been working hard and we all were
tired so did not go in to meeting after supper. weather nice.
